Mornin' Darksheare.

[snippy_about_it]

Good Morning 'joe', hope you are doing well! Good to see you.

[snippy_about_it]

Good Morning Fiddlstix, SAM must be sleeping late today. He'll need that coffee.

[snippy_about_it]

Good read SAM. The statistics on landing the paratroopers is awful. We got the job done of course but at a high cost for sure.

Thanks for the Taylor biography.

[SAMWolf]

There is no way I would admit to serving on a ship named the USS Geranium. I just couldn't say that with a straight face.

Good morning Snippy
Good morning Sam

(It's starting to look like I've "bit off more than I can chew" with this "remodeling project of mine". Every time I get one thing fixed, I seem to find something else that needs fixing. LOL. I think I'll just redo the whole house while I'm at it. LOL)

[SAMWolf]

1863 Sam Houston president of Texas, dies at 70

[SAMWolf]

Don't worry about bein' crazy Sam, if we weren't, we'd have never signed up for military green.

We always called it OD Green.

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning CholeraJoe

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning, Fiddlstix. I really need the coffee to get going this morning.

[Darksheare]

Morning.
Had any coffee yet?
Been brave enough to try mine with half-n-half and four sugars yet? *ducks*

[Darksheare]

OD Green, Over Dirt Green.
(At least, that's how I heard it. As well as Army Green. But everyone else uses it too..)

[SAMWolf]

Every time I get one thing fixed, I seem to find something else that needs fixing.

Sounds like my typical project. Try and replace a washer and it turns into a major replace pipes, shutoff valves and who knows what else. And my wife wants to know why avoid "honey do's" like the plague

[SAMWolf]

Just a change in time, of course we didn't have the Cammo BDUs, we had solid OD Green fatigues.

[Darksheare]

Slanted front pockets too, right?
(Why did they get rid of those? They were perfect!)

[snippy_about_it]

Been brave enough to try...

NO

LOL. I need my sleep, I'm still catching up from my visit to SAM's where we never slept very long.

[Darksheare]

Hmm... I guess I'm more immune to the stuff than I thought.
:-/

My coffee didn't buzz you up THAT bad, did it?
(Afraid to ask.)

[SAMWolf]

Slanted front pockets too, right?

Only on the Jungle fatigues, the Stateside fatigues had straight pockets and had to ber tucked into the pants like a shirt.

[Darksheare]

Oh, the state trooper style BDU shirts.
Those were horrible.
Garn.
